Plane Makes Emergency Landing in Florida
Small plane lands safely after part of landing gear collapses....video (video.foxnews.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Great post, the footage was excellent! The pilot did a great job, came in very controlled, kind of tested the front, and cut the engines, most importantly he walked away. Did a good job to save the airplane from tons of damage too. Can he not wind down the front landing gear manually?
I was trying to figure that out as well. Once the runway is made, kill the engines to prevent the props from striking to ground while the engines are running.
ditto...first thought was.....ouch! Thats gonna cost.
That is a terrific video although it's a heartbreaker when both props strike the ground. Here is [http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N414AW/history/20081213/1415Z/KFLL/KFLL the flight link although there is no track log].
Good job by the pilot keeping the nose up as long as he could.
